2006 Winter Scripting Games (part 2)

---

---

I'v been a bit busy this week,As I prepared for my first Monad presention I did at work today,
and did join the 2006 Winter Scripting Games – February 13 - 24 as I mentioned earlier.

the games are realy nice to do (even in VBscript), also to remember how handy MSH would be to do the same,

as MSH is not a Official Script games language yet (I hope we will be allowed in next games),
I will do some of the events the monad way here , as the answers of the first event are posted on the Scripting Games page I will do some of those scipts here in MSH (complete scripts):
to follow them (see the original script and explanations ) you can check the Answer: Scriptathalon

Question 1.

("Sunday", "Monday", "Sundae", "Tuesday", "Sunshine") -match "sun"

Sunday
Sundae
Sunshine

Question 2.

([datetime]"2/1/2006").adddays(5).ToShortDateString()

2/6/2006

Question 3.

$values = 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 7, 8, 9
for ($i=0 ; $i -lt $values.Length ; $i+=2) {$values[$i]}

1
3
5
7
9

Question 4.

[int](2721/13)

209

Question 5.

(66/100).tostring("p0")

66 %

Ok, this could take some extra explaining for some help on this one see :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconstandardnumericformatstrings.asp

Question 6

("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") foreach {[int][char]$_}

65
66
67
68
69

Question 7.

c
(see question 5 )

Question 8.

[string]::join(" ",("A","B","C","D","E"))

A B C D E

Question 9.

$Command = '$a = 1' + "`n"
$Command += '$b = 2' + "`n"
$Command += '$a+$b'

invoke-command $Command

Question 10.

$string = "This is a test string."

$a = $string.ToCharArray()
[array]::reverse($a)
[string]::join("",$a)

.gnirts tset a si sihT

Ok, I needed 3 lines for the last one (could only find a reverse function on the array type) , but the rest of the scripts not fixed with one line, but replaced by one line.
